Senior Music Producer // Ads

Chicago, USA

Madeline Dowling is the Chicago-based Senior Music Producer at Detroit-based ad agency, Doner. She is responsible for developing sonic branding for a broad range of clients / brands including Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler, Ram and many others.

From an early age, Madeline knew that she wanted to work in music and after trying on many hats, (show promotion, record label, booking agency, music PR, talent buying, and even a stint with The Grammys) she finally landed her dream gig as a Music Supervisor in 2013. She has worked with top brands like Kraft, Disney, Cadillac, and Apple as well as on hit TV shows like Grey's Anatomy, How To Get Away With Murder, Empire and Scandal.

Previous to her work with Doner, Madeline's career included roles at creative agency mcgarrybowen (Chicago), Chop Shop Music Supervision (LA), Good Ear Music Supervision (LA), Marmoset (Portland), as well as a robust freelance career. When she's not eagerly keeping up with music's hottest trends or falling down rabbit holes from music's past, Madeline enjoys creating custom glitter graphics, picking up litter while listening to podcasts, and visiting hole-in-the-wall bars or Michelin Star restaurants.
